Each year, the Catholic community of Ontario engages in a week-long celebration of Catholic education during Catholic Education Week. This year’s celebration is entitled, “Rebuild, Restore, Renew Together”. This theme was inspired by a variety of considerations including an ongoing recognition of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission.

In this episode, Dil and Amanda engage in a conversation with Tyler Waddilove, LDCSB’s Indigenous Graduation Coach. Tyler provides supports to Indigenous learners with the goal of obtaining an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and successfully transitioning into post-secondary education, trades, or the workforce. Tyler shares his experiences growing up Indigenous, as a Regina Mundi grad, and guiding us through an important discussion surrounding Indigenous experiences and culture.
